It is a long time since I had this problem but I found out very early in my QL days that if you tried to print a decimal figure with a leading zero it would display it exponotional. eg. .01 = 1.1E-2 This also applied to numbers with more than six decimal places. I used a subroutine to correct this which I can no longer find but I believe I turned the number variable into a string variable before printing it. I hope this helps.
John Taylor ps. The routine may also have raised the number to an interger before converting to a string variable and inserting the decimal point in the correct place. If I am honest I should say I have forgotten how I did it.
Sorry for the delay, but I couldn't reply earlier; UPC (cable company) was down yesterday afternoon and evening.
Thanks for your help, I have been doing that for a long time but it doesn't solve the problem of displaying ,correctly and in a readable way, large numeric values with digits after the decimal point.
Thanks for your help.
